Dentistry without the upsell
Prices in writing, first
You'll know the cost of any treatment before it's scheduled. No surprise bills, no pressure at the chair.
We verify your insurance
Give us your plan and we'll check your coverage before your visit — so the bill is what you expect.
Only the work you need
We'll show you the X-ray and explain why. If something can wait or isn't necessary, we'll tell you.
What patients say
Real reviews drive the decision — so we put them front and center.
“First dentist who didn't try to sell me a treatment plan the size of a car payment. They showed me the X-ray, explained what could wait, and what couldn't. Refreshingly honest.”
“Chipped a tooth on a Friday morning and they got me in same day. Fixed it in one visit, exact price they quoted. Whole family switched here after that.”
“Great care and very gentle. Only knock is the Friday afternoon close — wish they had later hours one day a week. The cleanings are thorough though.”
“I hadn't been to a dentist in years and was dreading it. Zero judgment, clear plan, and they worked with my budget. Actually not stressful.”
“They explained my insurance coverage before the work, so the bill was exactly what I expected. That alone makes them better than my last two dentists.”
Common questions
Are you accepting new patients?
Yes — we welcome new patients and families. New-patient visits are usually available within a week or two. Use the booking form or give us a call and we'll confirm within one business day.
Do you take my insurance?
We accept most major PPO dental plans and file claims on your behalf. If you're not sure about your plan, call us with your insurance info and we'll check your coverage before your visit — no guessing at the front desk.
What if I don't have insurance?
No problem. We post our prices for common services and offer a straightforward in-house membership plan for uninsured patients, plus CareCredit financing for larger treatment. You'll always get the cost in writing before anything is scheduled.
What should I bring to my first visit?
Your insurance card (if you have one), a list of any medications you take, and records or X-rays from a previous dentist if you have them handy. Arrive a few minutes early to fill out forms, or we'll email them ahead.
How often should I come in?
For most people, a cleaning and exam every six months keeps small problems small. If your situation calls for a different rhythm, we'll tell you why rather than defaulting everyone to the same schedule.
Do you see kids?
Yes — we're a family practice and happy to see children alongside their parents. We keep first visits low-pressure and friendly so kids actually don't mind coming back.
Where do I park?
Free parking in the lot off Marsh Street. We're on the second floor, Suite 200, with elevator access.
What if I have a dental emergency after hours?
Call our after-hours line at (555) 412-7711 for guidance. For severe swelling, trouble breathing or swallowing, or trauma to the face, treat it as a medical emergency and go to the nearest ER.
